No problem! I always try to keep up with all the Hawks in pro ball!

Gallagher? Peyton?

Gallagher and Peyton didn’t get invited to spring training. Gallagher hasn’t pitched at all yet. Hopefully he’ll get to this year.

I see Booker started in LF during their last game. Does he have any chance of making the opening day roster?

That would be great, but would be quite a jump. I don’t think he’s played AA or AAA. Maybe a little of AA, can’t remember. I think he did really well in A ball and didn’t do as well in high A.

Sometimes it's more about your defense that can get you a spot and Booker can do that. Engel hit .166 last year in MLB in 301 AB.
